The SPV2 for the Fairchild C-119 "The flying Boxcar" is ready. Improvements include fuel economy adjustments, the addition of an OAT gauge and other smaller adjustments.
To mark this release, we are also releasing the "Phoenix" , from the movie "Flight of the Phoenix". This comes with a full complement of animated survivors and three starting cartridges - do not waste them...she's a bit of a handful but then what do you expect from a model aircraft designer...
The "Phoenix" is a free Christmas gift to all current and future owners and comes with our best wishes for a great Christmas and New Year.:engel016:

To mark the release of the SPV2 for the Boxcar, our first dip into PBR, the Phoenix, is up. This is free to all existing and future owners of the C-119 Boxcar. In V4.4 you can install the full PBR version or non PBR, it's up to you.
There's a cartridge starter (just like the movie) and you have to be careful not to waste them! Good luck!:engel016:

This will give you 20 pilot and ground crew figures to add to your WWI Theater sceneries. Place them around your airfields with the Mission Builder.
The inspiration came from a request by Ravenna who also provided some references, did the testing and the mdlnames list.
My thanks to Lindsey Watt and Robert John for their examples which I used to figure out how to make this.

That one interest me, hope it's similar to the air mail model. The front cockpit was converted to a cargo compartment with a canvas cover.

I remember reworking the old Monogram F86 into a proper Avon Sabre several times way back when.
Getting the extra 3" depth into the nose wasn't that hard, cutting all the extra ducts and vents was a bit tricky, but the end result was worth it.
Somewhere in my stash I have a decent number of Avon shots, I'll dig them out.

The first Doug's Challenge and my latest video.
A flight from Walla Walla Washington (its fun just to say it!) to Anacortes with 4 touch-and-goes en route. I did not actually reach my final destination on this occasion due to fog at Anacortes but it was not for lack of trying - there are some nail biting moments in the last bit of the video.
I hope you enjoy!
